= Investigation 2 - Python on Matrix =
The Python Interpreter supports two mode of operations: script mode and interactive mode. In interactive mode, the Python interpreter allows us to run python code one statement at a time. Currently, there are two major versions of the Python interpreter available on matrix.senecacollege.ca: version 2 and version3. To start an interactive Python 2 shell, type "python" at the command prompt. To start an interactive Python 3 shell, type "python3" at the command prompt.
